Barbet Schroeder’s La Vallée from 1972, also known as Obscured by Clouds, is a marvelous exploration of the mind set in the jungles of New Guinea. Wife of the French consul Viviane decides to join a trek to the mythical valley of the gods and comes across the Mapuga tribe who teach her about sexual freedom and mind alteration. The soundtrack of the French cult film was created by none other than Pink Floyd. The beautiful images were shot by cinematographer Nestor Almendros, who would win an Oscar for his work on Days of Heaven a few years later.
